In reading about recent news on quantum gravity and mechanics, I discovered that Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG) may be linked closer to String Theory than previously thought. Typically, these two theories in science contradict each other, and prove to be incompatible. Recent discoveries relating to a black hole has left string theorists rethinking what they knew about black holes, and could build a link between these two theories. String theory is the theory that everything is made up of tiny strings, some with loose ends and some attached, pulling and twisting. LQG is the theory that everything is made up of small chunks in space, vibrating and moving about. For a long time, the two theories and the scientists studying them kept separate, which is unfortunate because studying physics should not be that way. In my reading I was excited to learn there could be a new found link between the two.
